Reprise: How to put a picture “avatar” on your account

Posted on April 30, 2019 at 07:50 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

It’s easy. WordPress picks up your picture from a site called Gravatar.com.

Gravatar is owned by WordPress, the company that makes the software that drives this site.

We don’t support the full Gravatar shtick – you can’t click on an avatar on AskWoody and get all of the background info stored on Gravatar (sorry, it’s my privacy tin foil hat shining through) — but in spite of several legitimate privacy concerns, it works well for most people. I use it.

Full discussion – including pro’s and con’s – here.
